Abstract

In this work we present experimental data of the Flory binary interaction parameter, χ, of poly (ethylene adipate) PEA, a plasticizer material. We have used the viscometric method for measuring dilute PEA solutions in good solvents: benzene, chloroform and acetone. A procedure based on the Stockmayer-Fixman, (SF), hydrodynamic solutions theory, allows us to evaluate some thermodynamic parameters via the intrinsic viscosity [η], measured in several good solvents. This method also estimates the unperturbed parameter, kθ, and the steric hindrance parameter, (σ), by viscosity measurements at constant temperature of 30°C. By correlation of the molecular weight (M) and intrinsic viscosity data, according to the Stockmayer-Fixman (SF) solution theory model, values of Flory binary interaction parameter χ, equal to χ1,2 =0.1544 ± 0.01; χ1,2 =0.1631 ± 0.01; and χ1,2 =0.1922 ± 0.01, for PEA in benzene, chloroform and acetone, respectively, were obtained. In addition we applied the Debye-Bueche theory, in order to estimate values of: expansion factor (ε), shielding factor (ξ) and depth of shielding (L) for the system PEA-organic solvents, by [η] and (M) experimental data correlation. The results confirm that values obtained, correspond to "good solvents" for the PEA polymer.

Keywords: Flory binary interaction parameter, hydrodynamic properties of poly(ethylene adipate), Stockmayer-Fixman (SF) hydrodynamic model, Debye-Bueche solution theory, intrinsic viscosity

 

Resumo

Medidas viscosimetricas de PAE, poli(adipato de etileno), em benzeno, cloroformio e acetona a 30 °C foram utilizadas para determinar experimentalmente os parâmetros binários de interação de Flory (χi,j), para esse material plastificante. Obtiveram-se valores de χ1,2 =0,1544 ± 0,01, χ1,2 =0,1631 ± 0,01, e χ1,2 =0,1922 ± 0,01, para o PAE em benzeno, cloroformio e acetona respectivamente, mediante correlação de dados de peso molecular (M) e viscosidade intrínseca [η] de acordo com o modelo hidrodinámico de Stockmayer-Fixman (SF) para soluções poliméricas diluídas. O modelo permite também estimar o parâmetro constante, kθ para a combinação polímero (1) - solvente (2) no estado tetha (θ) e o parâmetro de impedimento estérico (σ). Neste trabalho reporta-se os valores para o parâmetro binário de interação de Flory, que apontam que os solventes utilizados, são termodinamicamente, bons solventes para o PAE. Adicionalmente, mediante a aplicação da teoria de Debye-Bueche aos dados experimentais de [η] e (M), estimaram-se os fatores de expansão (ε) e proteção (ξ) e a profundidade de proteção (L), quantidades que confirmam que os solventes empregados são bons solventes para o sistema PAE.
